After a tough Sunday at work, I adapted Gail Haselsteinerβ’s Chicken Cacciatore recipe to what I had at home.
Skinless, boneless chicken breasts were used
I substituted 2 large pinches of dried Provencal herbs for the herb spice and left out the chile flakes.
The wine I used was Groot Constantia Sauvignon Blanc for a taste of home.
I served it with Basmati rice and we enjoyed the meal very much. Thank you Gail.
